A flight shot from my last visit to WWT Caerlaverock a couple of years back

Mute Swan, Attenborough Nature Reserve, yesterday, (Sunday 19th Jan), morning.

First time I have spent a prolonged period really shooting as low as possible, as close to the waters surface as I can. Absolutely revolutionary, although hardly news to anyone else! And as you can see, the light even before the sun came up was absolutely sublime!

Was lining up a shot of a Ruff when a noisy flock of Canada Geese landed...the Ruff didnt hang around! Drat! Musselburgh.

This Ring-necked duck was diving with a companion drake at Lake Artemesia, so I edged up to them little by little to capture this shot. I've been looking to put a couple of what I call "definitive" shots into my collection for this duck and I think I can check this one off - for now. Also, I've started to play around with DPP4 as I see that it's giving me better results than my other photo software.

Taken 28 December 2016 at Lake Artemesia.

Our annual trip to WWT Caerlaverock Wetland Centre near Dumfries to day. Like most of the country under very dull grey skies and apalling light conditions so high ISO speeds and a lot of denoising required

I would be delighted if you also had time to visit this album : www.flickr.com/photos/110648625@N05/albums/72157667865863912

This one came in quite close, unfortunately not into direct sunlight

Another duck for this evening. I captured this American Wigeon drake at Cape May on a recent trip there. According to the Cornell website it's an increasing abundant duck.

Taken 15 October 2016 at Cape May Point State Park, New Jersey.

I captured this juvenile wood duck at Huntley Meadows. Always nice to see them when they are young so I can learn to identify them as they grow into adult form and plumage! This one is so young that it doesn't even have what I call the white chin-straps yet.

Taken 2 July 2016 at Huntley Meadows, Virginia.

These Goldeneye were feeding where the river Leven reaches the sea.

Scientific name: Aythya marila

Common name: Greater scaup

Nombre: Porrón bastardo, Pato grande

We often take photos of waterfowl landing with their spectacular water skiing. Taking off is a less spectacular exercise but involves far more effort from the bird. Some, like swans, start off like aircraft, using the water surface as a runway and "running" along the surface until they achieve airspeed. Smaller ducks do it from a standing/swimming start.

Crayfish, sometimes predator and sometimes prey.

I was actually in the New Forest photgraphing some Birds of Prey but I became somewhat distracted by the lovely Canada Geese Goslings. Judging by the fact that they couldn't stand up in the breeze very well and the state of their coats I would say they were extremely young.
